The Osyth Mini Baby Sweater - Pattern
INTRODUCTION
This cute baby sweater is very easy and quick to knit up. It is worked flat with just knit and purl stitches, and the step-by-step pattern guides you through the whole process. The sweater can be easily modified to a longer model if necessary.
CONSTRUCTION
The sweater is knit flat from bottom to top. The front and back of the body are knitted up separately and, once finished, seamed together. The sleeves are added by picking up stitches along the sides of the body.
SKILL LEVEL
If this is your first project and you’re feeling adventurous, go for it! However, some knitting experience is recommended and will make this work a lot easier. Therefore, the recommended skill level is advanced beginner or up.

GAUGE
19 st x 36 r = 4x4” / 10x10 cm in garter stitch on US8 / 5 mm needles.
Row gauge is less important than stitch gauge for this design. Keep in mind that your row gauge will impact the final length: a denser row gauge (more rows per 4”/10 cm) will result in a shorter sweater and vice versa.
